I'm going on a 17 day cruise. I needed something new. I made 2 of the Tank Dress in the A-Line version and I love them! Mark the pattern as shown and everything goes together easy peasy. I love, love, love the neck and arm wide band. It was learning to do something new and different and the end result is just beautiful. It looks better than Ready To Wear from the stores. Although, I will add that sewing the neck and armbands was the most time consuming part of sewing this dress, the results are beautiful. I will now say that this is without doubt a favorite summer pattern. I'm sure I will make a couple more for next summer (it's fall here where I live).
Hi Mary. Thank you for the fabulous review! It’s wonderful to hear that the Tank Dress was the perfect choice for your cruise and that you love how it turned out! We're so happy it’s become a summer favourite for you. Enjoy your trip and happy sewing!
